"Do you also travel to UAE just for one rest day?" - Tadej Pogacar faces criticism after latest Instagram post
Cycling
Tadej Pogacar made the news in a less positive way on Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old Slovenian flew to the United Arab Emirates for a day at the expense of his team and had a rest day on his bike in the desert.
Images that he himself posted on Instagram show the two-time Tour winner cycling around on his Colnago bike, posing with some fans and ending his day indoors on the reels on Zwift. "Do you also travel to UAE just for one rest day?" Pogacar asked his Instagram fans lightheartedly.

"No, I'm worried about climate change," one of his infuriated fans responded. "Don't brag about pollution," someone else urged. The Slovenian phenomen himself didn't react to the wave of critcism so far, but one thing is certain - that he should probably be more considered with his future posts.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
